歌詞

The sunset stains the slide in shades of gold

The shadows stretch as the day grows old

The sound of rusty chains, a rhythmic creak

When my toes couldn't reach the ground we seek

Scraping my knees, falling down in the dirt

Laughing out loud before I felt the hurt

Your footprints left a trail inside the sand

Even if tomorrow wipes them from the land

I waited in the same spot, day after day

Two swings side by side, in the fading ray

I wonder when it started, this heavy heart

The twilight makes me feel we’re worlds apart

I finally know I can’t go back again

To the child I was, back then

The empty swings don’t move at all today

I’ve grown up now, and you have gone away

I’m breathing in the air where you used to be

A hollow space where there was you and me

The swinging memories are lingering still

Frozen in time against the winter chill

But the two of us from that golden light

Have vanished deep into the night

Swing, swing – only my heart is swaying

Swing, swing – into the dusk, I’m straying

Sitting on the bench, staring at my phone

No trace of you in the texts I own

But I looked up and saw the burning sky

The same deep orange from the days gone by

I can’t recall the jokes or things we’d say

The words we spoke have drifted far away

But deep inside, a warmth begins to bloom

A mysterious glow in the gathering gloom

The habit of calling your name is still there

A silent whisper in the evening air

I let the syllables roll on my tongue

Then swallowed them down while the moon was hung

The empty swings don’t move at all today

Because I’m not a child who’s come to play

I leave your seat empty, just like before

Waiting for a knock on a ghost of a door

The more the untouchable hours pile high

The more that old light brings a tear to my eye

How gentle it looks, that distant past

A beautiful moment not meant to last

Swing, swing – leave it all to the breeze

Swing, swing – swaying through the trees

If I could just go back for a little while

To the days of that easy, innocent smile

I’d sit beside you, I wouldn’t say a word

The sweetest silence that I ever heard

"See you tomorrow," I’d say it so plain

Not knowing that loss would be the only gain

I want to laugh without knowing the end

Swing, swing – let the wind take control

Swing, swing – swaying in my soul

On the evening swings, I see your ghost

The shadow of the one I miss the most

On the evening swings, side by side

Nowhere for the lonely heart to hide

I won’t push the seat, I won’t start the ride

But I’ll keep on coming to the riverside

You aren't here, but that time still remains

I hear the echo of the rusty chains

Holding the memories that slowly sway

I’ll carry them home at the end of the day

Swing, swing – even though I’ve grown

Swing, swing – memories of my own

You’re gone now, but the feeling won’t die

Two empty swings under the darkening sky

Stained in the sunset, side by side

Swaying so slowly

Coming to a stop
